Harry Anderson

Harry Anderson, best known for his roles on television's "Night Court" and "Dave's World," was one of the busiest and highest paid magicians on the comedy circuit before becoming an international TV star. Performing as "Harry the Hat," he toured the United States, developing a fantastic act and a huge following.

On television, he played wacky Manhattan judge Harold T. Stone on NBC's "Night Court" for its entire nine-season run from 1984 until 1992. Millions of viewers made this politically incorrect courtroom farce their guilty pleasure, as the show racked up twenty-nine Emmy nominations, four Emmy Awards, and consistent ratings wins in its time slot.

From 1993 until 1997, Harry Anderson starred in CBS' hit sitcom "Dave's World." He played Dave Barry, a Pulitzer prize winning columnist who is dealing with his life in the suburbs with his wife and two sons.

Anderson's television credits include hosting the Discovery Channel's television special "The Science of Magic" (1997), starring in PMP Productions' "Harvey" (1996) and Warner Brothers' production of Stephen King's "It," and playing Peter Piper in "Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme" (1990). He has made notable guest appearances on such shows as "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," "Night Stand," "Saturday Night Live" and "Cheers."

Harry Anderson hosted the annual FOX-TV specials "Oops: The World's Funniest Outtakes." He continues to perform magic on the comedy circuit and emcee magicians conventions. His is the author of a book about magic entitled "Harry Anderson's Games You Can't Lose: A Guide For Suckers" (Pocket Books, 1989).
